that's how i want to solve the fiscal cliff problem, is spending more taxpayer money. so, the president doesn't have the authority to raise the debt ceiling, he shouldn't have the authority. congress, as you all mentioned earlier is in charge of the money, the purse in the united states. >> dave: of course, there wasn't just that ability to continuously raise the debt ceiling, and 1.6 trillion in new taxes, 50 billion in new stimulus spending, to mention a couple of provisions in his offer. is there any, any room for compromise where we are right now in avoiding the fiscal cliff? >> well, there will have to be some compromise, there will have to be some plan, but the president's proposal is so ridiculous. the idea that he's going to raise taxes, really fwe just followed his plan, wouldn't solve the problem anyway, because the spending is so much. and that he wants to spend more money, he wants to-- another stimulus bill. the first one didn't work well for the country, but yet, we cannot spend our way into prosperity and tax our way into prosperity, which is what the pr

then, senator orrin hatch from utah gives the republican address on the fiscal cliff which refers to automatic tax increases and spending cuts that would go into effect in 2013. >> hi, everybody. i'm here on the factory floor of a business in hatfield, pennsylvania, where folks are working around the clock making toys to keep up with the christmas rush. and i came here because, back in washington, the clock is ticking on some important decisions that will have a real impact on our businesses - and on families like yours. the most pressing decision has to do with your taxes. see, at the end of the year, middle-class tax cuts are set to expire. and there are two things that can happen. first, if congress does nothing, every family will see their income taxes automatically go up at the beginning of next year. a typical middle class family of four will see their income taxes rise by $2,200. we can't let that happen. our families can't afford it, and neither can our economy. the second option is better. right now, congress can pass a law that would prevent a tax hike on the first $250,000
